Description

**NEW** GPS location based 'false muting' via SpotLocks™
V1 Companion™ is a feature rich app, designed to give you the most out of your V1 radar detector, while enhancing your driving experience along the way. Featuring intelligent alerts and advanced muting, it takes situational awareness to another level! V1 Companion™ is the COMPLETE solution to enjoying your V1.

V1 Companion™'s alerting and muting systems are optimized for each V1 platform. Intelligent voice announcements and on-screen visuals will always keep you informed and aware of the situation around you.
V1 Companion™ full feature list:

• View and modify your V1's internal hardware settings. You no longer have to exit the app, and run the V1 connection app, to modify your V1's internal settings.
• The ONLY iOS app with "Dynamic Volume Control" for V1 Gen2, completely silences unwanted alerts (No more annoying initial audio blip accompanying false alerts).
• Play detector tones through app.
• 'GPS Warmup' keeps the detector quiet for a 'user set' number of seconds or until a GPS connection is established with your iPhone. Useful for parking garages etc.
• 'Proximity' meter.
• V1 Firmware version check & notification of new firmware.
• 'K & X falses in area' meter.

• Advanced BSM/CAS/Ka False Muting (Optimized for each V1 platform).
• 'Ghost' muting quiets false alerts when you are traveling behind a false emitting vehicle.

• Total bogey count display (Above the V1’s limit of 9).
• Vehicle speed (MPH or KMH) display.

Great Companion App For My V1

FAMstallion on

Ditto to all of the latest raves about this app. I've had it for less than a week and truly love it. Two concerns that I have: 1. The vehicle speed is randomly off by posting 3-5 mph faster than my odometer speed. The same happens on both of my vehicles. Is there a way to calibrate to correct? 2. Is there a setting so that my car audio is not lowered when I receive a radar alert? I'm using a iPhone 14 pro max for the app. Thank You!

Almost perfect

Zack Rubin on

This app is awesome. The only thing preventing the v1 gen 2 from being the best detector on the market is false alerts. This fixes everything. I would just say KA band user locks would be nice - I have two falses I drive by every day. Overall worth $10 instead of buying an escort detector for $200 more than a v1g2.

Constant disconnect

allstate1905 on

The app tend to disconnect from V1 for t unknown reason. We need a fix

V1 companion

redjacket3 on

Excellent App, Thank you developer, Makes using the V1 gen 2 a breeze and adds so Much extra functionality to the V1

Works to make a quiet ride

Sad you broke it on

A really sensitive detector can be so annoying it’s useless. I get very few false hits and yet it warns me when there really is a problem. Not “perfect” but very useful. It’s the best by far and keeps getting better!

Nice App

oktgui on

Works nice! My hope is that it will eventually include crowd sourced alerts, speed cameras, and aircraft.

Superb

DVMinMaine on

This is overall one of the best apps I have on my phone. It works flawlessly, works as advertised, and makes (IMO) the best radar detector on the market even better. The screens and graphics could use a little cleaning up to make them more legible and less cluttered, and an explanation of some of the symbols that appear on the screen would be ideal, but this is a small price to pay for the functionality offered in this package. Absolutely, totally, and inarguably, worth every penny of the asking price.

Falling in love with my V1Gen2 all over again

TechieBrad on

This really quiets your ride. All the reasons why I wanted to get the R8 are now addressed with this app. Overall I think the V1Gen2 is better than anything out there, but its lack of GPS is extremely frustrating. I could write so much more about this app, but this app really is everything the V1Gen2 should be out of the box.

One last thing and it’s perfect…

R6780233565 on

If it could be used in landscape mode it would be perfect for me... I do use it more than any of the other apps out there. But really want landscape support since my pro max phone gets in the way of other things to see on dash while in portrait orientation. That’s it. Nothing else to dislike it is by far the most quiet v1 ride to work and around town. Great work on last version update. It’s a KA warning system and has since eliminated 99.9 of all other false. bSM and ghost is excellent. And spot locks never let me down. App support site down.. still hoping you are working on landscape option. Thanks!

UI Disaster

mschultz on

I reeeally want to like this app, but the user interface is a poorly designed visual disaster, lacking any basic organization, information hierarchy, and professional design. The developer has clearly forgotten that you will be DRIVING when using this app. Instead, it seems like the intent is to impress us with how many alert and pieces of information can be thrown on the screen all at once, sometimes using plain English sentences, with bright contrasting colors. The initial splash screen – using what looks like comic sans – is your first clue that this will not be a good user experience. You’re then BOMBARDED by an unavoidable, overwhelming and infuriating wave of prompts that you CAN NOT STOP. Once you finally get past that, you’re presenting with a poorly designed UI/UX that any first year design student could dramatically improve in five minutes of casual work while drinking a cup of coffee. This app’s functionality might be amazing, but its UI and UX are just too sophomoric to even try. What a shame.
